BY SARAH.PETERSON @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State University and the University of Iowa have found a way to bring their rivalry together: patriotism. The Army Reserve Officer’s Training Corps program at Iowa’s rivalry universities come together each year before the annual Cy–Hawk football game to show support of the ROTC community. On Friday, the Iowa State Army ROTC started their day early with a 6 a.m. run around campus. The cadets then hopped on a bus and traveled to Colo, State Center, Marshalltown and Tama. At these different towns, the students ran about two miles or less to places like elementary schools, veterans homes and parks. “The students do a great job of executing this event,” said Lt. Col. Ethan Dial, head of the Iowa State Army ROTC. “They have to plan every detail out, and they start months in advance.” The last stop for the cadets was in Tama, where they met the ROTC students of the University of Iowa. Both ROTC groups ran to a park where they were served lunch by the Hawkeye Country Club. “This event is a great opportunity to join rivalries together IOWA STATE DAILY in support of veterans, military and the community,” said The ISU Army ROTC Cy-Hawk game ball tradition allows cadets from Iowa State to bond with veterans, University of Iowa cadets and community members.
